Job Responsibilities:

- Build and maintain operational MI/KPIs, dashboards, and governance packs to track productivity, breaks, aging, SLA adherence, and risk hotspots.

- Apply structured change management practices (stakeholder mapping, comms/training plans, adoption tracking) to ensure sustainable outcomes.

- Create and maintain SOPs, desk procedures, quick reference guides, and knowledge repositories with version control. Track training completion and proficiency; identify capability gaps and drive targeted upskilling.

- Create executive-ready PowerPoint decks and narrative updates (context - insight - impact - action) using operational data. Standardize reporting templates and storytelling constructs to improve consistency and stakeholder clarity across APAC.
